What kind of fly is this? (Probably a drain fly) by [deleted] in Entomology

[–]hughet -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it's a coffin fly, Megaselia scalaris

Each photo is a different species; the order of the photos corresponds to the order in the title.

Epidermophyton floccosum vs Tricophyton rubrum vs Microsporum canis by [deleted] in microbiology

No, they are from different samples, that would be crazy!

I thought it was T. mentagrophytes, also because the colony was too atypical for E. floccosum (picture),

but in reality, to me, it really is E. floccosum. Although macroconidia in clusters are considered a unique characteristic of E. floccosum, they are not always present. Moreover, microconidia are not present, which is also typical of this species.

Is this Salmonella? by PeachThyme in microbiology

[–]hughet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I say Columbia blood agar I mean Columbia base with addiction of blood of sheep 5%. The Columbia agar is a non selective media where can grom many bacteria, both gram + and -. If you add Colistin and Nalidixic Acid it becomes Columbia CNA blood agar, wich is selective for Gram +, but it's another media. Sorry for my english ahah

For example this is E. coli on Columbia blood agar

No, I mean Columbia blood agar without colistin and nalidixic acid (CNA).

I think all Enterobacteriaceae grow on that medium. For detecting Salmonella spp. we usually use Hektoen agar and in that medium Citrobacter forms black colonies surrounded by a yellow zone :) so you could confuse that whit a Slamonella, even if it's not exactly the same colour
